BRIEF NEWS OF
THE PAST WEEK
N egro Party Could Win Everything
If Held T o g eth er.
H avana, Feb. 1 —O rganization of a
d istin c t negro party, w ith the avowed
intention of obtaining control of the
Cuban governm ent, is being agitated
through the re p u b lic —and the move­
m ent has become menacing from the
view point of the w hites. This issue
has been brought to public notice re
cently by race conflicts upon the hotel
question, and the num erical stren g th
of the negroes, united, gives it portent.
Provision, the organ of the Partido
Independents de Color — Independent
j P arty of C olor- prints the newly con-
atructed platform of the party, which
contains these significant provisions:
“ The Independent P arty of Color
shall be organized throughout the
whole republic w ith a national charac
ter, to m aintain its equilibrium toward
all Cuban interests.
“ The republic’of equality, sovereign
and independent, w ithout race discrim
¡nations or social antagonism s, Bhail
g e t our su p p o rt.”
To what e x te n t prom oters of the
new movement may be successful re­
m ains to be seen, but there can be no
doubt that, if the organization of the
negro race as a political party ever
should be effected, it would rule the
republic.
The im portance of the congressional
elections in Ju ly can hardly be over
estim ated. I t is not so much a ques
tion of which p arty shall re tu rn the
g re a te r num ber of candidates,
w hether the independent republic, un
aided by Am erican supervision, shall
prove itself com petent to conduct an
absolutely fa ir and peaceable election

extending the area of destrudetion,
desolation and ruin.
Flood «/editions had become much
worse a t 2 o ’clock this m orning, partic
ularly in the south and e a s t sectiona.
In the old L atin q u arter the situation
was critical.
The sidew alk of the (juai dea G ran­
dee A ugustine collapsed and fell into
the O rleans company’s tunnel beneath,
fu rth er extending the flood through the
ancient stre ets, practically the Rue
Jacob and around the In stitu te of
France.
Many sew ers burst in the T w elfth
arrondissem ent, one of the biggest in
Paris, the whole of which is now sub­
merged and haa beenplunged into dark
ness on account of the breaking of
the gaa m ains.
Official figures of the stag e of the
w a ter are difficult to obtain, and the
city council a t a storm y session to­

In tha m eantim e terro r has been
struck in the hearts of ail. The crust
of the city seems ready to sink into
the flood.
Every hour drains are

W ashington, Jan . 26.— In alarm one,
the critical turn in the tariff contro­
versy betw een the U nited S ta te s and
Germany, appeals from cham bers of
commerce and board* of trade of aeve-
ral cities were made to the national
board of trade in session here, urging
th a t body to recommend th a t the
American governm ent recede from its
position th a t Am erican beef m u tt be

Resolution*
presented to the national body m ain­
tain there can be no advantage in in­
sisting on a German m arket for Am er­
ican beef, because the consum ption is
increasing a t such a ra te as soon to
command all the supply. I t is pointed
out th a t the A grarian party, in control
of the Reichstag, has stood for the
principle th a t farm ers of Germany
m ust supply the beef, and th a t the im­
perial governm ent could not adm it the
American product, if it would.
A commission to settle the dispute ia
suggested. Many delegates, bringing
from th eir home cities dem ands for an
investigation into the high cost of liv­
ing, have made th a t subject forem ost.
The national body today decided to ap­
point a special com m ittee of five men
to determ ine the reasons for present
prices.
In his opening address to the nation­
al board, the president, Frank J . La
